5 Great Party Favor Stores on Long Island
Whether it’s a birthday bash for your little one or a holiday soiree at school or home, parents want to come up with the perfect party favors to send home with their guests. Through the years, I’ve spent a lot of time making homemade favors—and a small fortune buying them—until I stumbled upon these stores. These one-stop shops can save moms time, money and stress, while also offering fun and creative favors you won't find in a mainstream party store. Whether you want to buy premade or get some DIY supplies, there's sure to be something for any theme or celebration. And for more party inspiration, check out our Long Island Party Guide.
